The development Keystone XL Pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico represents a chance for better control over oil prices and the chances to drive down prices of crude oil and gasoline by growing, and making easier, the way we get our oil. This proposed update to the current pipeline figures to trickle down from big business into the blue-collar working man’s pockets in the form of lower gasoline and fuel prices across the board.
For those who might not be aware of the pipeline, it’s proposed expansions, and the opposition it’s facing, check out the Wikipedia link below to get caught up on the pipeline and its history. Along with that link, there is another posts over to a story on Politico, which talks about how the pipeline may be in danger because, of all things, cheap oil prices. It’s a good read and should prove useful on getting you caught up on the current lay of the land when it comes to the pipeline.
